1. Royal Matchmaker

Objective: Help kids break the ice by finding their perfect “Royal Match” using themed word cards.

Setup: Use our ready-made Princess Word Match Cards (available in our store) featuring enchanting pairs like “Rapunzel” and “Hair,” “Elsa” and “Ice,” or “Mirror” and “Magic.” Each child receives one card as they arrive. Every card has one unique match.

How to Play: As guests arrive, hand each child a card. Their royal mission: Find the guest holding their match!

Once they pair up, they introduce themselves and answer one fun princess question, like:

• What would your princess name be?

• If you had a castle, what would you name it?

• What magical gift would you love to have?

It’s a charming and easy way to get kids chatting and giggling as they join the royal court!

Bonus Game Option: Later in the party, reuse the cards as a memory matching game. Lay them face down and let kids take turns flipping two at a time to find the royal pairs!

2. Mystic Mirror Dance

Objective: To mirror another’s dance moves.

Setup: Pick an open space and play some royal-themed music (like harp or instrumental fairy tale music – see suggestion below) to set the mood.

How to Play: Pair the children and have each pair stand facing one another. One child in each pair will be the “mirror,” mimicking the other’s dance moves as closely as possible. After a minute, switch roles. This is a great ice-breaker non-competitive game. Celebrate everyone’s effort with applause.

3. Dopey’s Royal Rescue

Objective: Try to pin Dopey back in the right spot while blindfolded—the closest player wins!

Setup: Download and print the 17″ x 11″ “Find Dopey” poster featuring Snow White with the Seven Dwarfs… except Dopey is missing! Use the matching numbered Dopey cutouts (1–15), available for purchase in our store.

Hang the poster at eye level for the age group. Cut out the Dopey pieces and write each child’s name on the back of theirs. You’ll need tape or reusable adhesive and a blindfold (a sparkly scarf or royal sash works perfectly!).

How to Play: One by one, blindfold each guest and spin them gently 2–3 times.
Hand them their Dopey cutout with tape ready. Their royal mission: place Dopey where they think he belongs—no peeking!

4. The Enchanted Garden

Objective: To collect “enchanted flowers” while avoiding the “sleeping spell.”

Setup: Scatter colorful paper flowers around the room and designate a small area as the “safe castle.” Assign one player as the “enchantress” (who will try to put others under the sleeping spell).

How to Play: The players must collect as many flowers as they can and bring them to the castle. If the enchantress tags them, they must freeze until another player “unfreezes” them by touching their shoulder.

The game ends once all flowers are collected, and whoever brings the most flowers to the castle is crowned “Garden Keeper.”

5. Royal Creativity Corner

Objective: Give kids a calm and magical break with princess-themed coloring, puzzles, and fun!

Setup: Create a cozy “Royal Creativity Corner” with a table and chairs. Provide printed princess-themed coloring pages, mazes, and word searches—all available for instant download from our store.

Add plenty of crayons, colored pencils, markers, and fun extras like glittery stickers, gemstone stamps, or tiara cutouts.

How to Play: Guests can visit the corner anytime during the party to relax, color, or solve puzzles. They can create at their own pace and take home their beautiful masterpieces as special keepsakes from their royal celebration.

6. Gemstone Relay

Objective: To pass gemstones without dropping them.

Setup: Give each player a spoon and prepare an equal number of small gemstones for each team (or something light like marbles).

How to Play: In teams, players pass the gemstones down the line using only the spoons. If any of  the gems falls, they must pass that gemstone to the start and pass it on again. The team that successfully passes all gemstones to the last person first wins.

7. Princess Says

Objective: Follow the princess’s orders—but only if Princess Says! Stay in the game by listening like a true royal.

Setup: Use our ready-made “Princess Says” command sheet (available in our store) with magical princess-themed actions such as:

• “Elsa says freeze like ice.”

• “Ariel says swim like a mermaid.”

• “Cinderella says twirl in your gown.”

• “Moana says paddle your canoe.”

• “Belle says open a magic book.”

• “Rapunzel says brush your hair.”

Gather the royal guests in an open space where they can move freely and safely.

How to Play: Choose an adult or older child to act as the leader and call out the commands.
If the command starts with “Princess Says,” everyone must do the action.
If it doesn’t start with those words, and someone still does the action—they’re out!

Examples:

• “Princess Says curtsy like a queen!” → everyone curtsies.

• “Spin in your dress!” → anyone who spins is out!

Keep playing until one clever royal guest remains—or start a new round for more giggles and fun!

8. Fairytale Freeze

Objective: To stay frozen in a magical pose.

Setup: Prepare a playlist of instrumental fairy-tale music (see the one suggested above).

How to Play: Have the children dance freely to the music. When the music stops, they must “freeze” in a royal pose (like holding a pretend crown or curtseying). The last child to freeze each round is out. Continue until only one child is left.

9. Royal Charades!

Objective: Act out princess-themed actions, items, or characters without speaking, while your royal court tries to guess what you’re portraying!

Setup: Use our ready-made Princess Charades Cards (available in our store), filled with enchanting words like “Dance”, ‘Hair,” or “Mermaid.”
You’ll also need a timer (a phone works great!) and an open space where little royals can move freely.

How to Play: Split the guests into two teams, or take turns in a smaller group. One player draws a card and acts out the phrase in silence—no talking or sound effects allowed!

Their team has 1–2 minutes to guess the answer. If they guess correctly, they earn a magic gem (point)!

Continue taking turns until all cards are used. The team with the most gems at the end wins.

10. Jewel Heist Dash

Objective: To gather as many “royal jewels” as possible before time runs out.

Setup: Scatter plastic jewels, coins, or beads around the party area. Provide each child with a small bag or basket.

How to Play: Set a timer for 2-3 minutes. Players run around collecting as many jewels as possible. At the end of the round, count the jewels. The player or team with the most jewels wins!

For added fun, introduce a “guard” (a parent or helper) who tags players to “freeze” them for a few seconds.

11. Design Your Crown & Wand!

Objective: Let kids enjoy a calm, creative activity by decorating their own royal crown or magical wand.

Setup: Provide printable crown and wand cutouts (included in our printable party pack), along with craft supplies like:

• Crayons & markers

• Glue & glitter

• Sparkly gems, sequins, and ribbons

• Princess stickers (crowns, castles, flowers, hearts)

Set up a “Royal Craft Table” where young guests can sit and decorate comfortably.

How to Play: Each child chooses a crown or wand and decorates it however they like using the materials provided.

This relaxing activity is perfect before food or cake, and the kids can take home their dazzling creations as keepsakes from their magical day in the royal court.

12. The Royal Quest

Objective: To complete a series of “royal tasks” to earn their royal title.

Setup: Set up five or six mini-stations with different tasks, such as balancing a book on their head or walking on “stepping stones” (paper circles) without falling. (See the whole suggested list below.)

How to Play: Players complete each task in order and receive a “royal badge” at the end. This is a non-competitive game, so each child feels celebrated.

Examples of Royal Tasks:

Balancing the Royal Book – Players balance a book on their heads and walk a short distance without dropping it.

Decorate the Crown – Provide plain paper crowns and craft supplies. Players decorate their own crown in 2 minutes.

Slipper Search – Hide a single fancy shoe (like a princess slipper) in a designated area. Players must search and find it.

Knighting Ceremony – Players kneel on a cushion while an adult taps their shoulders with a play sword.

Jewel Sorting Challenge – Give players a bowl of mixed beads or plastic jewels. They must sort them by color into separate containers.

Magic Wand Creation – Provide craft supplies to decorate wooden sticks or straws into wands.

Ring the Royal Bell – Players must toss a ring or hoop onto a small bell or rod.

Dragon Crossing – Create a small obstacle course that players must navigate while holding a treasure box.

Royal Dance Spin – Players perform a graceful spin or dance for the court.

Mystery Potion Tasting – Prepare small cups of juice with different flavors. Players must guess the “magical ingredients” (e.g., orange juice, lemonade).

13. Royal Scavenger Hunt!

Objective: Go on a magical hunt to find all the hidden royal treasures around the party area!

Setup: Use our printable Princess Scavenger Hunt cards (available in our store). Hide the picture items—like a crown, glass slipper, magic wand, tiara, or enchanted rose—around the party area (indoors or outdoors).
Make sure hiding spots are simple and age-appropriate so younger royals can find and enjoy them.

How to Play: Give each child a scavenger hunt page and something to mark off the items, like a crayon, sparkly stamp, or gemstone sticker.
Guests explore the party space, searching for the objects pictured on their card.

Once they’ve found everything, they return to a grown-up royal to earn a small prize.

14. Magic Wishing Fountain

Objective: To toss “wishing stones” into the fountain to make wishes.

Setup: Set up a “fountain” using a large bowl or decorative box and place it at a short distance from the players. Give each child a few coins or stones.

How to Play: Each child takes turns tossing their stones into the fountain while making a silent wish. If their stone lands in the fountain, they get a small prize. This game can be repeated until each child has had several turns.

15. Potion Making Challenge

Objective: To create the “sparkliest” potion using various glitter and craft supplies.

Setup: Provide small jars, water, glitter, food coloring, and a variety of “secret ingredients” like flower petals, shiny beads, and confetti.

How to Play: Each child creates their own potion by mixing different ingredients. Once finished, have them show their potion to the group, and each child receives a ribbon for their magical creativity.
